What happened on January 16 in New York Rangers history
On this date in 2018, Henrik Lundqvist did something that no other goalie had done in NHL history. He won 20 games for the 13th straight season. While six other goaltenders have notched 13 seasons with 20 wins, none had done it in consecutive season.
Lundqvist had been tied with Martin Brodeur and Tony Esposito who both had done it for 12 straight seasons. After a 5-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers, Lundqvist stood alone.
